How do I bid? Start here
Introduction
Launched in 2021 as a collaboration between relatively young New-York-based watchmaker Hoffman, who seeks to create vintage-inspired sports timepieces and Perpetuel, the UAE-based watch retailer, the Khaleejuna Wahed Collection was created as a way for Perpetuel to celebrate the six Gulf states and Perpetuel’s diverse network of collectors that span the Middle East. Featuring one reference per state, and each limited to just 50 pieces, this 300-piece limited edition collection pays homage to each state’s national emblem and colors through the Hoffman Racing 40’s dials. Offered here we have the Omani, Kuwaiti and Qatari variants, each housed within identical 40mm stainless steel cases that feature aluminum bezel inserts and exhibition casebacks that reveal their manual-wind Seagull cal. ST-1901 movements. Boasting a green, blue and burgundy dial respectively, each variant boasts the country’s corresponding national emblem and a Arabic script. This script reads “safety” for the Omani variant, “Peace” for the Kuwait, and “Glory” for the Qatari.

THE DIAL
Boasting Eastern-Arabic numerals within their aluminum bezel inserts along with Arabic script and each nation's national emblem within dials using the nation's colors, each Racing 40 variant from the Khaleejuna Wahed Collection allows there to be no mistake regarding where these timepieces celebrate.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Made of stainless steel and measuring 40mm in diameter, the Racing 40 was inspired by timepieces like the Rolex Paul Newman Daytona and Omega Speedmaster Racing with its aluminum bezel insert, pump pushers, and black chapter ring.
THE MOVEMENT
Powered by the Seagull cal. ST19-01, the Racing 40 maintains its link to mid-century watchmaking due to it being a manual-winding movement.
Condition
All three watches are offered in new condition.
Our Perspective
A launch designed to celebrate each of the Gulf nations, the Khaleejuna Wahed Collection for Perpétuel broadcasts a clear design language and unified aesthetic through the collection's consistent designs that makes for a truly appealing set for a collector to add to their collection.
